Success! Installed 2.50 edit and firmware without a hitch with my new laptop! I really like the new features with the cabs. Like how you can see the mics and how you can place them. That's pretty cool. Prior to 2.50 I really stuggled to get a decent Marshall sound but I'm having luck with the 2203 model. Made a few copies of that and I'm trying different cabs including some IR's I have to get (for me) the best sound. Still tweaking but getting there.

My new laptop just arrived yesterday! My son is getting it all setup for me. In time I will get around with trying to intall the new 2.5 updates. I'm always nervous about these updates. With all previous updates I have never had a problem. Everything went smooth as silk. So it's a bit unsettling when I read here about others having big problems when trying to install the lastest updates. Makes me ask "do I really want to chance this?"

Are you using the stock cabs or an IR? Reason I'm asking is because I am using IR's. For some reason (and not always) when I'm copying and pasting a preset into a new preset location, the high end on the IR cab will be like you set it to zero. No treble at all. Like someone put 10 blankets over the speaker. But then the other day (and without making a copy) I went to one of my presets and there was no treble. So I just re-adjusted to high level on the IR cab back to where I had it, saved it and all was fine. Don't know if this has been of any help to you, but you're not alone. I have no idea in either circumstance why this happens but it's been an easy fix.

I believe I figured out the problem. My laptop is too old. It has Windows 8.1 and the requirements for the 2.5 upgrade are Windows 10 or 11. Time for a new laptop. I've been thinking about it anyway. Thanks anyways.

Sorry....when I said my attempts have been through the Pod Go itself....what I meant to say was: I have the Pod Go hooked up to my laptop with the provided cable and I'm trying to do the updates through Pod Go edit on my laptop just as I have in the past.

Thanks for replying. No, I have not tried updating from this site. My attempts at updating have been through the Pod Go itself. I'll try that later on today. (Just got up and the coffee hasn't kicked in yet!).

According to a tutorial I'm watching on YouTube, once I sign in to my account through the PodGo Edit Software a window is supposed to appear letting me know that a new Firmware update is available. Nothing. Tried resiging in a few times and still nothing. No window to start the update proceedure appears. Now, in green letters at the bottom of the PodGo Edit screen it says "Updates Available" so I thought I'd try that. A window does appear but it says"the following updates are available for" PodGo Edit 2.0 and for Pod Go Firmware 2.1. Again, I'm trying to load Edit and Firmware for 2.5. Never had an issue before. What's wrong?

Thank you Voxman! Looks promising. Wonder if those can be purchased here in the USA?

Thanks for the suggestion! I just sent them an email.

Does anyone know of a suitable power adapter that will work with a Pod Go other than the DC-3H adapter that comes with the unit? I've got a new one on order but according to Sweetwater they may not be in until sometime in late October. The Line 6 store even shows this adapter as out of stock. I even called some local music stores. Nope. The thin, outer insulation that leads into the small barrel-like portion of the adapter has frayed leaving the copper wiring exposed. Some of the wires have broken so this adapter is on limited borrowed time. If I bend and press the wires together just so, I can get it to work. But as soon as I move it with the slightest touch it looses its connection. I've been looking but offhand I can't seem to find an adapter that will safely work with my Pod Go. Hoping someone here might know of something I can use until a new one arrives. I'm supposed to play at church on the 24th of this month. I'd sure hate to be up there and my signal goes out! So yeah, there's a bit of urgency here! Input Voltage Range: 100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz Output Voltage: 9V DC Output Amps: 3000 mA Polarity: Sleeve: Positive, Tip/Center: Negative Connectivity: 3mm x 5mm Barrel Thanks in advance for any help. Have a good day.

Okay, Line 6 tech support got back with me the the other day. They suggested that I back up my preset,s do a factory reset then download the latest 1.4 firmware. I am going to do this but not until next week. Reason being is because I'm playing at church this coming Sunday and I do NOT want to take a chance of things potentially going wrong before then. (That would not be good!). We had rehearsal on Wednesday of this week, all was working fine and I want to keep it that way for now. I haven't had any issues with past firmware updates so I'm hoping things will go as smoothly as they did before. I have done a few edits within the presets I'm using and that went fine with no problems. But I haven't tried copying and pasting anything else because that's when things went screwy. I let tech support know of the mentioned plan and they said they will keep the ticket open for two weeks. So come this Monday or Tuesday we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the suggestions although #5 seems a bit extreame!!! 1) If you restart Go after import does it change anything? Things have been fine up until about a month ago. 2) If you export both identical patches and compare them using winmerge or other file comparison program, any difference? Sorry, I am not at all familiar with those programs. Sounds worth looking into though. I will say that I have not installed the most recent firmware. I've had no problem with past firmware updates but then I always waited a bit because it seemed like there were a lot of bugs that needed to be corrected. I'm actually pretty happy with the presets I created and didn't want to take the chance of turning my Pod Go into brick, which has happened to some users. But for all I know maybe the latest firmware will help with the problems I'm having as of lately. But I did fill out a support ticket last night. We'll see what response I get. Thanks again. Have a good day!

This is really strange. Yesterday I copied preset 21B into 24A. Had to up the overall volume on 24A to +11.4 in order to match 21B. Anytime I copied and pasted in the past I've never had this problem. Today I copied the Teemahl pedal from 21A into 24B. All settings on the amp model, cabinet and Teemahl are identical in both presets. But the Teemahl in 24A doesn't sound like it does in 21B. It sounds more like an extreame clean boost. Tried a few other pedal models and got the same effect. No overdrive or distortion, just and intense overall volume boost. Makes no sense. Anybody?

Greetings. I've had my Pod Go for about two years with no problems.....until recently. Had a preset I created last night that came out pretty good. Today I copied and pasted it into another preset bank to make some changes. Gave it a listen and for starters the overall volume way about 1/2 of what it originally was. (I work in Snapshot mode). I set things up as follows. Snapshot 1: Bridge pickup. Snapshot 2: Middle position. Snapshot 3: Neck pickup. Snapshot 4: Ambient sounds. (I like to get a nice, even balance between the pickups). Not only was the whole overall volume about 1/2 lower, but all of the snapshots didn't sound anything like how I set them. Tonally, all 4 snapshots sounded the same. Went back to check the original preset that I made and my heart sank because it now sounds like the copy does. Half the volume and all 4 snapshots sounded the same. I have the Teemahl pedal included and when I tried out both the original preset and the copy, the volume of the Teemal increased dramtically and didn't sound anything as how I originally set it. Things started getting odd about a month ago. At that time I called up another preset I made and couldn't believe how overlly bassey it sounded only to find the bass was on 10. I never, ever have the bass up that high. This actually happened a few times. Things are changing on their own. Anytime I make a change to a preset I automatically save the change. Standard procedure. So I don't know what is going on here. Seems like it's developed a mind of its own. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

I don't get it. Now it's working fine and I am able to see snapshots 1 through 4 within a preset on the Pod Go's screen where as yesterday I couldn't. Yesterday I tried pressing the Mode switch to see preset footswitch mode. Then I tried pressing both the up and down switches together to see the 4 snapshots within a preset. No dice yesterday, now it works fine. Still wish I knew what happened so I would know how to correct it if it happens again.
